ENG vs SA, 3rd Test: The Kennington Oval has braced itself for one crucial Test match, the series decider between England and South Africa. The Dean Elgar-led Proteas side had been steamrolled by England in the second Test match of the series. When South Africa began the series they had nullified the Bazball challenge and had inflicted a loss on the hosts by a margin of an innings and 12 runs. But the entire scenario changed when they took on England in the second Test match. Coincidentally, both these Test matches ended in a span of two days and now the outcome of this series will be decided at the Kennington Oval.
Team England faced a massive setback as they lost Jonny Bairstow to a freak accident at the golf course. Jonny Bairstow has been ruled out of the T20I World Cup too. The hosts have inducted Harry Brooks as Bairstow's replacement and the youngster is all set to make his Test debut at the Kennington Oval later today.
All eyes will be fixed upon the Dean Elgar-led South African side too. They had won the first Test match courtesy of their fine bowling performance at Lord's. But to their dismay, neither their bowling fired nor their batting, and courtesy of Ben Stokes and Ben Foakes's tons, England nullified the South African bowling and leveled the series by 1-1.
